t'orlned For their reception inl thendjneeut sides ol' the reservoir, as shown iii Figs. 1, 2, 3, and orthe pen may be formed in one piece with or firmly uttuehed tothe reservoir, its indienied in Figs. t; und 7. The slit n is designed, in connection with the lip C. to insure the free and I regular trnnsler of tlteink from the open or lower end olsuid reservoir to the point; of the pen. The lip or tongue U is uttzuhed over the bueh ot` the Ypeu in sueh u manner :is to provide :tihin spzn'e between sind peu und lip transverse to and in vontniunientiolrwith the slit a ofthe peu. thereby providing u eli-.umol nntde up of sind slit' und Suid thin spuee `t'or conducting the ink to the point oi' t'lnpeu, lsnid channel being in `whofrlor in part, sotto speelt', T- sbaped in its rrossset-lion, while its opposing surfaces, by'ntl ruetiou ol'itdhesion, insure the tlowottheinl;throughsnid ehuuxnfltolhepoint ot' tho pen `.fis the ink is drnined l'roul the lutter int-he operatiionofwritiur. lhis lip or tongue l'lhus. l'or exznnple. tnniy be loriued upon or uttuehed to the lower end ofthe feediug'ste'tn l), bert'iuufter more l'ully deseriln-d, its shown iu Figi Al:o1iit. muy Cous-ist of u slip of golth.

The {veiling-*stein l) is u deriuedesigued to insure the regular descent ol the ink within the reservoir A when the lutter is ofsue'h di u'tueter that. under ordinary renditionsl the ink would be iunintnined inthe upper pnrt` ol'suid reservoir by utinosphorie pressure from below nndthus interfere with the operntiou ot' the pen by l'uiliuy; to regularly supply thesuunwith tuk. the` Suid stein lmingsoeonstructed in itself or so arranged iu relnlion to the wulls of the rrserroi r us to provide whnt, muy be termed un internnl enpillury ehunuel.A17 through which u sluull vul-rent, ol' inl: muy ilow downward, leaving' the nir in the surrounding spn'ee free to more upwurd, thereby insuring, more espeeiully when the holder is ol`veuvstnnll dizinleier, the :Lutein-.uic downward Feeding ot' the ink lo the upper portion ot' the pen, whence, by

The said siem may therefore eoneieb of n. sir'nple fiatsinrip of metal or oher suilaole nin-termi placed close to but, not iu actu-ul eontecuwih one of the sides of the interior of the reservoir, as indicated in Figs. l, 3i and il, or oi" a single stir-ip grooved or ill-shaped in its cross-seei-ion, as sho-wu in l); or its equivalent may be provided by iongitndinally grooving `lhe infernal surface :o oithe reservoir, as shown kin Fig. lland inlieated oy -the Sonie reference-leiter D, the walls or surfaces vol" the said grooves serving 'tiles-'ame purpose, heezmse oi' their adhesive a'almoion, in suhslonliielly the seine wey' s doesilie nLeni .ilseli 'when applied :is heroinheoeexplained. l

It should' he kept in mind that the feedingslem fzieiiiliaies laire opereiou of filling the roservoir well :is the feeding oi the ink to the zo pen.
